You can have physical relations during these months of pregnancy; most people do not know this.

In most cases, it is absolutely safe to have physical relations throughout the pregnancy, unless the doctor has forbidden you. Actually, the baby in the womb remains safe in a sac of amniotic fluid.

Pregnancy is a time when women go through many changes. During this time, many couples have questions and fears about having physical relations. Most people do not know when and how it is safe to have physical relations during pregnancy. So let us know about this in detail.

Is it safe to have sex during pregnancy?

 

 

Yes, in most cases, it is absolutely safe to have sex throughout pregnancy, unless the doctor forbids you. The baby in the womb is protected in a sac of amniotic fluid, and the cervix is closed with a mucus plug, which protects the baby from external infections. During intercourse, the penis cannot reach the baby. However, in some special situations, the doctor may forbid you from having sex.

In which month of pregnancy can one have physical relations?

According to Dr. Namita Agarwal, a gynecologist in Gwalior, if there is no problem in your pregnancy, then you can have sex in all three trimesters.

• First trimester: During this time, a woman often has problems of nausea, fatigue, and mood swings, which can reduce the desire to have physical relations. But, if you feel comfortable, then it is completely safe. During this time, the risk of miscarriage is high, but it is not due to intercourse, but rather due to other internal reasons.
• Second trimester: This is considered to be the most comfortable time of pregnancy. The problem of nausea reduces, and the energy level increases. The stomach is also not so big that it causes discomfort. Sex drive can also increase during this time. This time can be very safe and comfortable for having physical relations.
• Third trimester: The belly grows a lot in this trimester, which can make some positions uncomfortable. The baby starts moving down, but still remains safe. During this time, some women may feel mild contractions after intercourse, which are called Braxton Hicks contractions. These are normal and are not real labor pains. Consult a doctor when the delivery date approaches.

In what situations should one avoid having physical relations?

There are certain circumstances when the doctor may forbid you from having physical relations.

• Bleeding or spotting: If you ever have vaginal bleeding or spotting.
• Placenta previa: When the placenta partially or completely covers the cervix.
• Cervical weakness: If the cervix is at risk of premature dilation.
• Water bag rupture: If the water bag has burst or water has come out.
• History of premature delivery: If there has been a premature delivery in the past.
• More than one baby in the womb: Doctors often advise caution if there are twins or more babies.
• Vaginal infection: In case of any kind of infection, sexual intercourse should be avoided.

These are the things to keep in mind

• Comfortable position: Some positions can be more comfortable so that there is no pressure on the stomach.
• Cleanliness: To avoid infection, take special care of cleanliness.
• Openness in communication: Talk openly with your partner and doctor. Share your feelings and fears.
• Sensitivity: Many changes occur in a woman's body during pregnancy, therefore the partner should behave with sensitivity.

If you have any doubts or concerns, consult your doctor. He can give the best advice according to your individual situation. Remember, this journey of pregnancy is for both of you and it is important to live every moment with love and understanding with each other.
